Gardening Unplugged - Fronds in the garden with Zac Hill (Hardy Ferns and Palms for zone 7b)

Welcome gardeners! In this video our Taxonomist and Plant Nerd Extraordinaire Zac Hill showcases some of his favorite ferns and palms in the garden. These versatile perennials lend themselves to a variety of garden conditions from dry shade to sunny bogs. Did you know that some ferns love baking in the sun and many native palms do well in the shade? Meet ferns that get 4 feet tall and ones that get only 4 inches tall and palms that survived single low digits frosts here, in zone 7b. Please like, share and subscribe to support our channel.

For the next fern tour, can one point out the Gametophyte plants vs. sporophyte plants?

[@Plantdelights]

Hello! We don't usually have the gametophytes out in the garden visible, since they are so small.
